Now Is the Time ...

After spending your working life doing things you have to do, now at last you can do what you want to do.

You'll probably spend a couple of months catching up on all those lazy pastimes you've been daydreaming about for the past few years; but once the novelty wears off, you'll find yourself looking for something more challenging.

The internet has opened up limitless ways for you to contribute to your community (on a local or global scale). The only equipment you need is a PC, an internet connection, a creative spirit and a competent writing style.

"Uh-oh," I hear you exclaim, "I've got the PC, the internet connection, a thousand and one ideas, but the writing ... well, I was never very good at writing ... and it's too late now ...I guess it's back to the petunias for me ..."

Nonsense! You now have both the inclination and the time to make up for any gaps in your education.

You have helped more than you can ever know!!   This exchange gives me the
opportunity to tell you how much I have gotten out of your "Tips"    I write
for my own amusement as one of many activities to keep my retirement fun and
active.  You have inspired me beyond my fondest hopes.

Thanks

Tom

Just think of some of the projects you could set up:

• recollections of members of special groups (armed forces from different regions; hospital staff; teachers or students from particular years at local high schools / colleges; parishioners from the days of a particular minister or priest; workers from a company's early years; farmers who survived special years of hardships; survivors of natural disasters etc)

• special interest groups - based on health topics, sport, hobbies, travel destinations, collections etc

• charity groups - you could organise functions and publicity for children's groups, animal welfare groups; friends of the zoo etc

• you could start a newsletter for people interested in certain species of plants; particular authors; different branches of science; philosophers; special pets; crafts; types of motor car; political beliefs; historical sites etc. Chances are, if you're interested in a topic, other people will be too!

This is just a tiny glimpse at the countless possibilities. If the only thing holding you back is the fear that your writing needs a bit of work or that you might make a few mistakes, stop worrying.

You can also set up your own web site and make yourself a little extra income - travel on the proceeds or donate it to your favourite charity! 

Perhaps you'd rather use your time developing a business so you can use all that valuable life-experience you've gained. 

The Internet provides the ideal medium for you to do this. Click now to find out how easy it is to write like an expert AND to sell the fruits of your labour!
